About

David August and Friends is a group of seasoned musicians who take familiar music and reimagine it in fresh, exciting ways. What started as David’s jazzy arrangements of Protestant hymns quickly grew into a full band exploring popular artists like Joni Mitchell, The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Michael Jackson, and Stevie Wonder. Each musician shines as a soloist, and the band’s genre-bending style—funk, rock, reggae, bop, latin, country—creates a warm, dynamic soundscape with plenty of improvisation. Their shows have a communal, heartfelt energy that makes every performance feel personal and unforgettable. Join us and experience it live!

Experience It on CD!

The Jazz Sunday Collective album is a collection of hymn arrangements and original songs by David August. In 2016, David asked his friend and mentor, John Patitucci, for help in recording an album to raise money for two local charities. John was all in to make the album a reality! Moving forward with the plan, mutual friends from our church family and beyond, also wonderfully accomplished musicians, enthusiastically and generously offered up their time and talent to record the Jazz Sunday Collective.
